Touching You I Catch Midnight

Touching you I catch midnight, Yaz Taşçı’s first solo exhibition, showcases the artist’s most recent works. Borrowing its title from a poem by Audre Lorde, the exhibition brings together a body of work that conveys the feeling of shared intimacy and evokes a collective entity.
Steeped in queer and feminist imaginaries, Yaz Taşçı’s works explore the infinite possibilities of bodies, identities, and desires, weaving a counter-narrative to hegemonic normativity. Although her practice is individual, it is deeply rooted in a collective and plural thought: Taşçı constantly seeks to create spaces for encounter and solidarity. For this exhibition, the artist chooses to stage female nudes, immersed in the night, meeting in the darkness and forming a fluid and shifting unity. Their gazes, imbued with both the unease and fascination of the night, intersect in a moment of complicity: they claim the night as their own territory.
